Hey Product Hunt 👋 I make madpixelsort, a little desktop pixel-sorting app. People kept asking it to do more - layers, animation, other effects, sound. So I spent the last stretch building the thing it always wanted to be. madphase is a compositing studio for images and video. You build in non-destructive layers - 66 effect families, 186 sub-modes - and nothing bakes in until you export. Keyframe any parameter. And the fun part: drive anything with sound - level, frequency band, or beats, from a file, a video's own track, or a live mic. It's not a photo editor and it's not AI generation. You start from an image, footage, or nothing at all, and compose. The live preview is the export, frame for frame. - 66 effect families / 186 sub-modes, on images or video - keyframe animation + audio-reactive everything - AI tools built in (bring your own key) - commercial use included - macOS + Windows A note on the tech, since it's Product Hunt: madphase is GPU-native — every effect runs on the GPU and stays there between passes, so the preview is real-time and the file you export is the exact pixels you were looking at, frame for frame. It's a native desktop app built in Rust, not a browser wrapper — which is why you can stack dozens of effects, run live particle sims and reaction-diffusion, and keep scrubbing the timeline without it falling over. macOS + Windows, hardware-encoded video export. There's a free version (with a watermark) so you can try it forever, plus 7 days fully watermark-free when you sign in - no card up front. Paid is $25/mo or $239/yr, everything included, no tiers. Would genuinely love your feedback - I'm here all day. - Massimo
